    Age to Check In to Albergue?

    I’m so sad to hear of your wife‘s accident. The night before our last day into Santiago last autumn I slipped and broke two ribs and like your wife had to take a taxi to Santiago via the general hospital there. It’s heartbreaking when it happens. I wish you all well. That’s the Camino.

    May/June or September/October on the Camino Frances?

    I walked the Camino Frances in September/October and the Camino Portuguese in May. I preferred the autumn Camino. The memory of starting to walk in the darkness of the early morning and then watching the breaking of the dawn each day will live with me for ever.

    Approaching Leon Hello peregrinos. Tomorrow we will be in Leon taking a rest day. Since Burgos it has been easier to find supermarkets open and restaurants serving early meals. It seems to be easier to get beds too as there are more albergues in this part of the Camino, though tonight beds at...

    LIVE from the Camino Live from the Camino Frances

    Hello peregrinos. We left SJPP on 15/9 and I thought I would post something about our experience which might be of help to those a week or two behind. Most people seem to be booking a bit ahead. Some aren’t and are finding beds though there are pinch points along the way. We ran into difficulty...

    Starting CF from SJPP Easter 2019

    Hello, I’m hoping to walk the CF next April. I have a lot of flexibility as to when I start but I’m trying to see when would be best to set out from SJ given that Easter is late this year (21st April). I had planned on travelling to SJ on Tuesday the 16th and setting out on Wednesday the 17th...
